Solutions that don’t break the bank, reinvent the wheel or marginalize our teachers are within our grasp. We could have rigorous classes, safe and disciplined schools and treat teachers like valued colleagues rather than easily replaceable cogs, and we could do so tomorrow if we wanted.

Heck, I really want to vote for Paula Wright now

The Times Union today endorsed Darryl Willie and in doing so
they endorsed a small cabal of rich white people (the QEA board who are all
Willie donors) running our schools, Teach for America which does the exact
opposite of what we know to be best for our children, charter schools, which as
a group in Jacksonville way under perform when compared to their pubic school
counterparts, half baked ideas like open enrollment, which where somewhat
attractive should never have been suggested a few months before the school year
was to begin and with no way to pay for the transportation it would have
required.

When the Times Union endorsed Willie they also
endorsed those things too. A broke clock is more right than the Times Union.
